Hotel Prestige Paseo de Gracia
This avant-garde hotel is in one of the aristocratic buildings that give character to the main street of the city. It is thought of as giving off the sensation of a home-like atmosphere, an urban refuge that has nothing to do with the cold grandiose hotels that are normally found in big cities.

Restaurants in Barcelona
Barcelona offers a restaurant selection that is probably the most varied and cosmopolitan of Spain . There are restaurants for every taste. From the best Pakistani restaurants to the most sophisticated combination-foods restaurants. The decision is yours but take the following Vueling formula into consideration: save while flying with us and enjoy a good restaurant.
Albarakah
Albarakah is a restaurant with Arabic and Greek cuisine, whose name in Arabic means "blessing." We have to say that the translation doesn't even begin to touch the surface when it comes to this enjoyable establishment since the food and service are "all a blessing."
Valencia, 204
93 323 46 51
Habana
As a primary recommendation we couldn't leave out a place with Mediterranean food. It is located in Barceloneta from where you can contemplate over the beautiful views of the beach of San Sebastian. Its stellar dishes are paella marinera (seafood paella) and the dorada al horno (oven-baked Gilt head fish). As indicated in its name, it has a Cuban touch that is affirmed by trying its tapas. It doesn't end here because when the evening arrives you will see how this restaurant turns into an exciting place full of drinks where the festivities lie, accentuated by Caribbean music that plays until the morning hours.
Escar, 1 (Esquina Pº. Juan de Borbón)
93 225 02 63
Negro
Located in modern Barcelona, Negro offers a comfortable and detailed decor set in a Minimalist style. Its enormous chandeliers illuminate some creative and surprising recipes.
Diagonal 640
93 405 94 44
Shojiro
We can't tell if Shojiro is an establishment of Catalan cuisine with a hint of Japanese flavour, or if it's the other way around; Japanese with a hint of Catalan flavour. Either way, what does it matter when what is truly important in a restaurant is the food, which is out of this world? Go by Shojiro and try one of its succulent dishes, among which stand out are the Tataki tuna with sherry vinegar or the Teriyaki-style beef.
